It's not pronounced like "smog" though.

I am the only Person who was relay pissed after the 6th time he said: I am the King?

still apart of his treasure lol, >.> on a side note, didn't really like the movie in comparison to the 8ook, the addition of legolus and sauron kinda made it lame; for they were literally added just to add more action to the movie.

around mouth - needs moothning

I'd say what they did was an effective way to transition to LOTR, and the Necromancer/Nazgul/Saruman discovery gives Gandalf something to do for the trilogy, instead of just disappearing for huge chunks of the story with no explanation. I get the feeling they're trying their best to give every character a role in the action, which I think they pull off decently.

well kinda yes and kinda no, after a long discussion with my nerdy friend of mine, (lol) there really isn't a connection 8etween the two though, like legolus suddenly no longer loves whatever her name was, and well sauron is completely gone... as if nothing happened, so well, doesn't seem right. although they have one more movie to go >.> so I guess we will see.

okay i recently read silmarillion and i found out that sauron was not purely added there to addmore action, he was not just mentioned in the hobbit book because it was told from bilbo's point of view and he didnt know about stuff gandalf did when he was gone. but in silmarillion was mentions about this encounter with sauron in dol guldur but it was not stated when this exactly happened but it is possible that it happened during the events of the hobbit.

-explanation-

HOLY SHIT, we got a Harvard graduate here!

No your not, your just adorable. <3

Smaug what did mommy say about playing on top of the money horde?

If he were king IN the mountain, he'd be Bergentrückung.

Is this supposed to be a skylander-version of him?

The king is fucking kawaii.

Honestly if it weren't for the tag's I would have think someone made a cute'y drawing of Tirnoch from KoA

Which would be what makes it a PLAY ON smog, not a direct statement of the word. And yes, it is, in fact, a play on smog, Tolkien himself said so.

Tolkien himself said so.

Unlikely, since he said that it's based on the German word Smugal. Same root as Sméagol.

Besides, the great smog of London didn't happen until 1952. The Hobbit was written nearly two decades before anyone made a big deal out of smog.

Smog was coined from smoke and fog in 1893 in the LA Times. According to wikipedia.
